Colorado seeks revenge
Kansas faces tough road test
By Matt Siegel
Kansas sportswriter
Last season, Kansas and Colorado met at the women's Big Eight Conference Tournament. The two teams struggled through two overtimes before Kansas prevailed. 81-78.
This season, the Jayhawks and Buffaloes played another game down to the wire, with almost the same ending. Kansas pulled out a 59-57 victory in front of a record crowd of 13,532 in Allen Field House, the largest ever in the conference.
The record-breaking crowd and how the Jayhawks fed off its energy was all anybody talked about.
Colorado hasn't forgotten.
"I think our crowd is going to be a major factor," Colorado sophomore guard Amy Palmer said. "We have dropped behind Kansas in the conference race and now in the AP poll, so we want to show our crowd that we are capable of beating Kansas."
The No. 6 Kansas women's basketball team faces No. 7 Colorado at 7 tonight in Boulder, Colo.
Helping the Buffaloes' cause will be a big crowd of their own. Colorado officials confirmed that 8,000 tickets had been sold.
It's more than just a match-up of national rankings. It's No. 1 against No. 2 in the conference. Colorado is second place with a record of 5-2, while Kansas is 7-0. A Kansas victory would give the Jayhawks a three-game lead in the conference standings.
However, Kansas players said that a
"We like crowds," senior center Lisa Tate said. "The more they boo us, the better we play. We like being the underdog."
But Kansas coach Marian Washington said she had a different perspective on the game.
"I feel personally that the pressure is on them," Washington said. "They're the ones who are behind two games. We want to beat Colorado, but if we don't it's not going to be the end. We're going to have to try to handle their pressure — the pressure of the home court advantage, the pressure of a lot of people who aren't necessarily going to be supporting us. We've got nothing to lose."

Tate said that the team wasn't nervous about the game. Freshman forward Jennifer Trapp said that a Jayhawk victory was guaranteed. The Jayhawks have won 11 consecutive games.
Kansas senior guard Ericka Muncy guards Colorado's Sheliy Sheetz during the teams' last game in Allen Field House. Kansas plays at Colorado tonight.
To keep that winning streak alive, Kansas is going to have to contain Colorado's junior guard Shelley Sheetz and junior forward Jamillah Lang. Sheetz, a preseason All-American, is averaging 12.7 points and 4 assists a game. Likewise, Lang has been a force down low, averaging points 19.7 points and 7.1 rebounds a game.
“It’s going to be one of our toughest games of the year,” Trapp said. “Neither of us want to lose a spot in the top ten. If you let up on their players, then players like Shelley Sheetz will drill a three or Jamillah Lang or talented freshman Erin Scholz will take over.”
season.
Colorado is coming off an overtime loss to Oklahoma State. The Buffaloes haven't lost back-to-back games or a home game since the 1991
Also, the Buffaloos have had a tendency to build a big lead by halftime and force the other team to play catch-up. Colorado is 14-1 when leading at halftime.
tion surrounding the game, the more disciplined team would win.
Palmer said that despite the emo-
"Both Kansas and Colorado are runway freight trains, steamrolling over opponents," Palmer said. "The key is going to be who maintains their composure and who stays under control."
